Brief Summary:
This randomized, single-blind study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on pain management, comfort, and satisfaction of women after cesarean section.
The main question(s) it aimed to answer were:
* Is there a difference in mean pain scores between the intervention group and the control group as a result of kinesio taping? * Is there a difference in mean comfort levels between the intervention group and the control group as a result of kinesio taping?
Being between the ages of 18-45
Having undergone Caesarean section surgery and transverse incision technique
Having undergone spinal or epidural anesthesia
Having been classified as I or II by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)
Having been diagnosed with an allergic skin disease,
Developing postpartum complications (bleeding, infection, etc.),
Expressing a desire to withdraw from the study
Parallel
Intervention (Kinesio Taping) group
Other interventionNo randomized study was found investigating the effect of kinesio taping on comfort levels in women having a cesarean delivery.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a method used to make some values that cannot be expressed numerically measurable. In this study, VAS will be used to determine the pain levels of women. Evaluation is made on a scale between 0 and 10 cm; 0 cm represents no pain, while 10 cm represents the most severe pain. On the scale, 0-44 mm is classified as mild pain, 45-74 mm as moderate pain, and 75-100 mm as severe pain. This test, which has been used for many years, is a widely accepted assessment tool known in the literature for its reliability and easy applicability.
Perianesthesia Comfort Scale (PCS)
The Perianesthesia Comfort Scale (PCS) determines the comfort levels of women who have had a cesarean delivery. The scale consists of 24 items and has a 6-point Likert-type scale. Statements range from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." Twelve of the items are positive (1, 5, 6, 11, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24) and 12 are negative (2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 22), and the negative items are scored by reversing them. When evaluating the scale, the scores of the determined negative items are reverse-coded and added to the positive items. The highest total score that can be obtained from the scale is 144, and the lowest score is 24. The mean value is found by dividing the total scores by the number of items and the result is expressed as a distribution from 1 to 6. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.89.
